As a fashion editor, I’ve found that my friends routinely use me as a trusted source for sartorial guidance. Basically, I’m often one of the first people they text when they’re on the fence about a particular item or want help identifying the latest trend to try.
One of my very good friends recently asked me for advice on some of the best oversize blazers because she wanted to add some relaxed tailoring into her wardrobe. I sent over three options (including this $75 Nordstrom pick). I also sent her a few other spring items I’m loving that I knew she’d be into. I thought you might be interested in some of said pieces, so I’m sharing the items below (the first four on the list). I also scrolled through some of my favorite sites to uncover a smattering of other chic items that piqued my interest.
With all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out top-notch spring and summer items that could be worth adding to your shopping list this season.
This is the oversize blazer I recommended to my friend—modern and sleek.
Okay, I may be totally biased with this WWW bag, but the trendy teardrop shape is just so chic.
In the denim realm, I told my friend it's all about the distressed jeans this season.
A pair of elevated flip-flops is where it's at.
